1.9
Cybersecurity
As the device and its
ECH
O
SOFT
software are computer-based systems that are integrated into larger information
systems, certain rules and good practices must be put in place to ensure the safety of patients and users.
Électronique du Mazet does not provide or control the operating environment of its products, so it is the responsibility of
the practitioner to ensure that the following recommendations are followed.
1.9.1
Good practices for computer security
-Keep your software up to date, including the operating system (Windows or MacOs)
-Use operating system accounts to manage access.
-Use strong passwords to access accounts
-Lock down the computer when not in use
-Back up the
ECH
O
SOFT
database regularly (see 5.4.1)
-Verify the authenticity of any third-party software you install
-Use anti-virus software and a firewall
-Since the device and
ECH
O
SOFT
do not need to access the Internet, isolate the computer from the network as much as
possible.
-Check echodia.com periodically to see if updates are available.
1.9.2
Technical Information
-The
ECH
O
SOFT
software is a Java program
-It embeds its own java execution environment (JRE+JVM) in order not to interfere with other software. (installed in the
same folder, by default :
C:\Program Files\Echodia\Echosoft\jre
)
-The configurations of the software as well as the database are saved in the
.echosoft
folder of the user folder (ex:
C:\Us-
ers\romain\.echosoft
).
-The software uses the port 32145 of the local loop (localhost / 127.0.0.1) in order to check that there are not several in-
stances of the software launched at the same time.
-The software uses a proprietary USB driver to communicate with the device
